Fun in Chattanooga

We had a great time in Chattanooga over Thanksgiving. We left on Wednesday night and stayed in a hotel half way there to break up the 7-8 hour trip. AEH was so excited about staying in the hotel. I think she likes that we are all in the same room and it is like a sleep over to her. We left Granna and Grandaddy's on Saturday afternoon and stayed in the hotel again on the way back. EMH didn't sleep well but this is just a hard age for him to travel. He loves his bed at home and well, lets just say we managed.
When we got there Thursday, Granna and Mawmaw had cooked a delicious Thanksgiving dinner. And, of course we ate too much. It was so good to see a lot of family that we had not seen in a while. We met up with some cousins from the other side of the family for lunch on Friday. AEH had so much fun with all of her cousins.
Granna and Granddaddy had a early birthday party for AEH and her cousin B. The only problem with that was that AEH thinks she turned 5 that day since that is when we had the party. She has been telling people that she is 5 now. I mean when you have a birthday party, don't you turn a year older? Why can't we be as simple minded as kids? :)
Enjoying her Great American Cookie Cake.

A Barbie set from her cousins.

Her cousin B loved his money that he got.

This is Granna's mother, Mawmaw. EMH really took to her. He was even saying "Mawmaw" before we left. He fell asleep with his book in his hand.

Taking a nap with Grandaddy. This is how he got his naps...however and whenever he could.

AEH loves their dogs Maggie and Mindie. They like to run and play with her. This is Mindie taking a break from all the excitement.

Not long after we left Saturday, this was the scene in our back seat. Two tired kiddos! They had a blast and loved all the attention! Thanks Granna and Granddaddy!
